Ikea Faves

I received an e-mail from a reader named Caitlin regarding Ikea. Caitlin is getting married soon and will be receiving a generous gift card to Ikea from her in-laws. She asked for my recommendations on what to buy to furnish her new place.

Ikea can be hit or miss as we all know. My favorite items are the ones that don't scream "Ikea", but instead kind of fade into the background as just good, classic pieces. That's the whole point right? Sticking to a budget, but creating rooms that look like you spent lots o' benjamins.

Here are my favorite Ikea products for each room:

1 - HARRY chair $49.99 : nice clean lines and if you don't like the color options, you can buy custom covers here.
